Unfortunately many still do.I spent years believing it could or would get better. It didn’t. I feel it won’t.

To many on here put seniority and vacation time over work life and working condition. I am only here until the next better thing comes along.Thank you.
These guys don’t realize. Just what an amazing opportunity they have right now. I got a small raise per unit of work that will be a small pay cut on the year, considering I will be on call and not running a great bid. But caught a signing bonus that will make up for it. The money is a push. But as has been mentioned. The money ain’t why I left or why I went where I did. It just made it easier to justify leaving. But leaving was the goal. I am just done. And it feels amazing.
I didn’t know anyone was watching the NFL anymore after they let us know how they felt about America!Only until noon though, because of NFL start times. I can’t be saving the industry while games are in progress

CCX and Conway were the same. Just got worse under xpo.Exactly what Union representation if there for. Maybe if you and others might have taken a stand this abuse and toxicity could have been stopped.
Xpo has an abusive atmosphere because they can get away with it. The culture starts at the top.
I beg to differ. I had I asked this pole under 15 yrs ago the numbers would be in reverse of what you see now. People are also voting with their feet and leaving daily. No Sir it was not the same.CCX and Conway were the same. Just got worse under xpo.
Take a picture of your mirror, and post it, for my , “scrapbook “.I got a new ride. Far more enjoyable. I really thought I would second guess leaving or would feel regret. The relief of quitting was surreal. I now feel that what I do matters again. And that ain’t nothing.
It was still very anti union then, you can’t deny that.I beg to differ. I had I asked this pole under 15 yrs ago the numbers would be in reverse of what you see now. People are also voting with their feet and leaving daily. No Sir it was not the same.
Yes it was .It was still very anti union then, you can’t deny that.
I’m glad you switched. Sometimes a lateral move is the best thing. There’s no doubt in my mind how toxic the upper management has made the middle management now, which of course filters down to us. They are sitting freight rather than moving a part load at the end of the night to keep the numbers up. Confronted a regional guy in front of everyone at a meeting and asked very pointedly if the customers are paying us to move their freight or hold it to make our numbers good.I got a new ride.

I bet that was popular.. I've left loads at a fac and came back on an empty, because I was told, load wasn't heavy enough or cubed enough or not enough bill count.I’m glad you switched.

Well 32yrs ago an app was about 2 to 3 pages now it's a stack about an inch thick..Wow. You did it. How many years at Conway/XPO?
I’m 32 years in at my place. I don’t know what a application or a resume should look like……
It is funny how they do stupid sh1t to make numbers..The part they forget is we get paid the same if they are load or empty. So at this point I say OK I'll take empties and when my SCM ask why we left freight behind I tell him to call the college educated idiot at the FAC I just drive the truckI bet that was popular..

And those recruiters are a bunch of story telling bastards.There’s no such thing as a paper app. It’s all on computer. You go back and forth with a recruiter on emails.
